Advancing Cancer Care Closer to Home

A clinical trial is a controlled study in which patients participate in the assessment of a new treatment for a specific type of cancer. The trial treatment may involve a new way of combining existing drugs, or the use of a newly developed therapy.  

The goal of each trial is to prove the effectiveness of a new cancer treatment compared to existing options, and to identify possible side effects and the best ways to manage them.

• Access to the most up-to-date cancer research and treatment drugs  
• A potential option when existing approved treatments have not been proven effective 

• Careful monitoring and support from a dedicated clinical research team 

• The opportunity to contribute to advancements that may help future patients  

Our partnership with Fox Chase Cancer Center enables Hunterdon Hematology Oncology to participate in many of their clinical trials—so you can access cutting-edge treatment options close to home, without the burden of long-distance travel.  

If a trial that is right for the type of cancer you have been diagnosed with and its stage is not currently offered at our facility, your physician can help identify trials at other locations and provide the appropriate referrals to ensure you have access to the care you need.  

If you’d like to learn more about any of the trials or programs listed here, or to find out whether you may be eligible, we encourage you to speak with your physician or reach out to our team directly.
